Impact Networking, a leading managed service provider (MSP), has appointed John Quinn as its new Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately. The move underscores the company's deliberate investment in leadership infrastructure to support its rapid growth and expanding service portfolio.
Quinn joins Impact from HSBC Americas, where he served as Chief Transformation Officer and CFO Infrastructure. He led a $1.5 billion enterprise transformation program that improved Return on Tangible Equity from 8.5% to 13.5% and generated $2 billion in sustainable operating efficiencies. His expertise spans finance transformation, technology modernization, AI and automation strategy, and organizational design, aligning directly with Impact's integrated service model.
Impact Networking has built a differentiated position in the MSP space over two decades, offering IT, cybersecurity, AI, and marketing services under one roof. The company's model appeals to mid-market businesses facing the strategic imperative to outsource complex technology and security functions while staying focused on core operations. As CEO Mike Lepper stated, "We need a financial leader who doesn't just manage the numbers but helps us shape the vision behind them."
Quinn expressed enthusiasm about Impact's client-centric approach and its commitment to remaining privately owned and US-focused. "The fact that this company is and will remain privately owned, US-focused, and wholly committed to the long-term success of its partners is a genuine competitive advantage," he said.
Impact's growth trajectory has been fueled by mid-market companies increasingly recognizing outsourcing as a strategic necessity. The company's enterprise-scale capability delivered with local care positions it uniquely in the market. Quinn's appointment follows a period of significant momentum, including expansion of service lines, geographic footprint, and client base.
His charter includes scaling financial infrastructure, supporting continued investment in talent and technology, and ensuring durable growth. Impact, headquartered in Lake Forest, Illinois, employs over 700 industry experts across 23 US locations. The company offers integrated services including managed IT, cybersecurity, AI solutions, print, and marketing services. Impact will never be sold or acquired, reinforcing its long-term commitment to clients.
The appointment of Quinn as CFO signals Impact's readiness to accelerate its next phase of growth with strategic financial leadership. More information is available at impactmybiz.com.
